âWhoâs the older one?â
Though it seemed like an absurd question, Seong Yulâs reaction confirmed my suspicion.
âYou already knew, didnât you?â
ââ¦â
He knew. His reaction made it obvious.
âHow did you figure it outâ¦?â
Instead of denying it, Seong Yul asked me a question. I let out a quiet laugh at his response.
âWith eyes that similar, wouldnât it be strange not to know?â
ââ¦â
âAnd as for appearances⦠no, wait. Hmm. Iâm not so sure about that.â
Would the Divine Dragon look like him if he grew some hair? Or would Seong Yul resemble the Divine Dragon if he put on some weight? It was hard to say.
In any case.
There was a reason I had brought up this matter with Seong Yul.
âSo, whoâs the elder brother?â
The Divine Dragon and Seong Yulâthese two were brothers. That was the key point.
ââ¦I donât know.â
âYou donât know? By logic, wouldnât it be you?â
ââ¦â
There was no answer. Not because he didnât want to say, but because he genuinely didnât know.
How were the two of them brothers? And if they were indeed siblings, how had their lives ended up so separated?
âAre they twins? No, that canât beâ¦â
There was an age gap.
As far as I knew, Seong Yul was older than me, while the Divine Dragon was the same age as I was. The time difference was too significant for them to be twins.
But stillâ¦
âCould it really not be the case?â
Calling them merely brothers felt strange.
After allâ¦
âThat aura⦠he has it too.â
The traces of that vicious, brutal energyâthe aura of the Heavenly Killing Starâwere faintly present in the Divine Dragon.
